The recent inspection of the Mercedes-Benz assembly plant in Pune by the Maharashtra Pollution Control Board (MPCB) has sparked controversy. According to MPCB Chairperson Sidhesh Kadam, the plant was found to be non-compliant with state pollution control guidelines. What has raised eyebrows is the fact that MPCB had not previously notified Mercedes-Benz India about any non-compliance issues. This lack of communication has led to criticism of the board’s monitoring processes.
Adding fuel to the fire, it was revealed that Chairperson Kadam visited the plant with a large entourage, most of whom were not MPCB officers. This has raised suspicions about the true purpose of the visit.
In response to MPCB’s tweet, Mercedes-Benz India stated that they prioritize adhering to global production standards, environmental practices, and regulations. They claim to have not received any formal notice or request from MPCB regarding the alleged violations and are willing to cooperate with authorities to address any issues.
The controversy surrounding the inspection has left many questioning the transparency and fairness of MPCB’s operations. Stay tuned for more updates on this developing story.
